Reggae Guest House 2, Kuala Lumpur is one of the four guest houses owned and run by the Reggae Hostels Group. It is a hostel especially for international backpackers. Located at Jalan Tun H.S Lee, it's a stone throw's away from the famous, happening Reggae Bar recommended by Lonely Planet. You will never run out of things to see or do during your stay there as China Town a.k.a Petaling Street and Central Market are just down the road.

I was fortunate enough to be able to stay there for 2 nights in one of their 6 bed dorms (with shared bathroom) which was booked via my preferred booking partner,HostelBookers.Com. A common trait found in most hostels in Kuala Lumpur, the room is relatively small and the walls are thin, however that does not bother me at all. Breakfast was the usual coffee, tea and toast. Plus point: I love its nicely decorated common room and facilities. The downside of the hostel is it has only two bathrooms/showers, one for each gender. Other than that, I would have to say that it is a pretty cool place to bunk in for the night.

Living up to its name, many international backpackers converge here for a short and even a long stay, either to enjoy and soak up the vibrant Kuala Lumpur city life or just to chill out with fellow backpackers. Sightseeing, tours and shopping are aplenty. The guest house is easily accessible via public transport as it is near Pasar Seni LRT Station and Pudu Bus/Taxi Terminal. Friendly reception, helpful staff, groovy atmosphere, happening backpackers and the fact that it is located nearby tourist attractions make it one of the sought-after hostels by backpackers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Give it a try and tell me your experience.
